From Wellhead to Flame: How Natural Gas Is Cleaned and Moved
In short: How raw natural gas is separated, dried and sweetened of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, then moved by high-pressure pipelines or cooled into LNG for ocean shipping.
A 2:10 short film in the series “How Things Work”, narrated by intellect_voice_01.
